Rockridge

Feeling wintered-out in the San Francisco “summer”?

Escape the fog at our sunny East Bay shop, where Smitten Rockridge churns at Oakland’s intersection of arts, culture and cult foodie-ism.

See our embrace of the new & old (“new, old-fashioned ice cream”, anyone?) reflected among the eclectic shops of College Avenue, where you can stroll past old standbys and trendy new digs with your cone of Salted Caramel in hand. Our commitment to sourcing locally extends beyond our seasonal fruits and veggies, as even the hand-painted mural gracing our interior was designed by a local artist.

Cookie Dough with Pretzels and Chocolate Chips

Classic Vanilla

Chocolate Ganache with 61% Guittard Cacao

Smitten’s classic chocolate ice cream gets the upgrade with Guittard® Chocolate Company’s 61% Cacao. The fifth generation Bay Area brand takes a hands-on approach to crafting new blends while using heritage techniques and original recipes—all with the goal of honoring the full flavors of the cacao. We add a little extra fudgy flavor with Guittard® Cocoa Rouge and melt it down into a rich, dare we say decadent ganache. From there the real magic begins – Brrr® freeze the base into a heavenly scoop unlike any other. This is a modern take on an ice cream classic that will change everything you think you know about chocolate ice cream!

Blood Orange

Not to brag, but our blood orange ice cream is a better, dreamier version of the classic creamsicle. The tart punch of citrus shines, perfectly complemented by our locally sourced cream, sugar and a dash of salt. A childhood favorite is now a perfect, ultra-creamy and delicious seasonal favorite.

Strawberry Cream

Classic ice cream flavors are crowd pleasers for a reason - they’re delicious! And that’s exactly how we’d describe Smitten’s Strawberry Cream flavor. California strawberries, local milk and cream from happy cows and a dash of sugar. Nothing complicated or crazy to be cool, just the good stuff and a flavor that will have you singing "Strawberry Fields Forever", except this time... EVERYTHING is real.

Honey Chamomile with Chico Honey Co.

You can taste the sweet, floral notes of local honey and aromatic chamomile in this velvety limited-edition flavor, brought to you in partnership with third generation beekeepers at Chico Honey Company. No stings, just sweet delicious scoops.

Our souped up version of toppings!

Homemade Waffle Cones and Bowls

Our cones are hand-rolled from a homemade batter and made fresh every morning! They have a slight hint of lemon.

Brown Sugar Caramel

This is our jazzed-up version of a classic caramel. It has a deep caramel flavor, not overly sweet, and is accented with molasses from the brown sugar.

Spicy Caramel

This is a spicy syrup that adds a pop of heat on the back of the tongue. You can also taste hints of other sweet spices that round out the flavor.

Chocolate Sauce

This sauce is rich and decadent, for true chocolate lovers. We use dark chocolate for a flavor that is not overwhelmingly bitter or too sweet.

Whipped Cream

This garnish is extremely fresh and light. Our whipped cream is lightly sweetened with cane sugar.
